Downgraded for many false positive "moderate rain",on radar you could see only very shortly a cloud - probably a SW bug. Old post 2020:I like this app (Premium version) because sends me notifications about rain in the selected area and shows me the direction of the clouds. I would like to have a setting for the intensity of the rain (example: light rain) at notifications because I receive many notifications for drizzle. With that setting will be almost perfect and then it will deserve 5*

this app is very useful for those who are not on the continent of Africa. They have excluded the whole of Africa from using this app to its full potential. They hide behind pay walls promising better functionality, but then when you get it, they exclude a massive part of the world. Despite many countries having advanced weather radars that is accessed by many other apps. Technology belongs to all not just a select few.

Hi Ryan. Thanks for your interest in our app. Radar coverage is the same for both free and premium versions. Most part of Africa continent has no radar coverage in our app indeed. Sorry about that. We haven't found reliable sources of radar data for this region so far, unfortunately. Regards
